In London houses are rather smaller than in most places in the US. Our last house had a single living room 21'x11', kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom, tiny back yard. Not cheap either, a friend has just bought a similar house in the same street for £700,000 ($1,000,000). The small living room was dominated by shelves for CDs, books and LPs making the room seem even smaller and more cluttered. In our (rather larger) new house, the squeezeboxes have enabled us to do away with CD and LP storage taking up valuable living space. The CDs are still quickly accessible in the small study in the loft if I need them. I have put them into sleeves and then small boxes like these: [image: http://i1159.photobucket.com/albums/p623/Oefinell/Leitz.jpg] 8 altogether which take up almost no space on our study shelves. -- TheLastMan Matt http://www.last.fm/user/MJL-UK *SqueezeBoxes:* SB Duet (Controller + two receivers) *Server:* Synology DS107+ (500GB) NAS running LMS 7.7.0 on SSODSmod 4.14 *Network:* Netgear DG834GT ADSL modem/router, 2 x Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 as access points *Livingroom:* Receiver into Naim 42/110 amp, B&W CM2 speakers *Kitchen:* Receiver into Denon DM37 mini-system, B&W 686 speakers *Study:* Linn LP12, Naim 72/Hi-cap/Headline. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ TheLastMan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16021 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80369
